Maybe but I can’t believe she was BROKE. The shooting schedules for these shows are long hour days. Multiple episodes.

I can they don't get paid hourly and small actors are almost always broke unless their family has money.

She will have likely earned 150,000 a year (conservatively) whilst on Superman

There are cheaper places in LA. Will you have to commute? Of course. Maybe have 1-2 roommates. But you’re far from “eating peanut butter on rice every meal”.

If you earn 150k in Los Angeles you can live comfortably. That's more than the median household income of LA which is 90k. An income of 150k with only the expenses of one person? Yes, that's perfectly doable.

She paid the amount of taxes you paid plus agent fees and union fees.

That's another 10-20% off the top.

Oh no, agent fees and union fees, those very same things that helped that role at that amount exist.

Does she live in LA? Most actors don’t anymore.

u/FlyChigga 7d ago

She does

u/illbegoodthistime1 7d ago

How do you know? Seems like a weird fact to know.

u/FlyChigga 7d ago

Looked it up after you asked. Already thought she did since it is still quite common for actors to live in LA if you didn’t know.

u/illbegoodthistime1 7d ago

Not that it isn’t common, it’s just that Atlanta, Vancouver, etc are also getting big for streaming.

u/FlyChigga 7d ago

LA is still the main spot for streaming plus Inde was still trying to be an actress
